The sterile hum of the modern gym contrasted with Kung Lao’s traditional focus. He grunted under the weight of the barbell, his eyes fixed ahead, though his mind wandered to you’s chatter with friends. The air grew heavy, the iron cold against his palms. Suddenly, a shadow fell over him. Before he could process the movement, a soft, warm pressure crushed the breath from his lungs. His hat slipped askew as you sat directly on his face, oblivious to the monk’s sudden, flustered stillness beneath the bench.
